Norfolk - Norwich location.
« on: Tuesday 16 September 08 20:59 BST (UK) »
1891: Could anyone look at RG12/4179 Thomas Norton aged 74 (b.c.1817) (with wife Catherine born in Ireland.)
What is the place written before `Norwich` for Thomas's entry please?
It seems to end with `land`.
Thank you.
frek.

No probs. I bet you were searching for every minor village near Norwich.  We've all done something similar.  ::)
